Question

It is advertised that the average braking distance for a small car traveling at 65 miles per hour equals 120 feet. A transportation researcher wants to determine if the statement made in the advertisement is false. She randomly test drives 34 small cars at 65 miles per hour and records the braking distance. The sample average braking distance is computed as 116 feet. Assume that the population standard deviation is 22 feet. (You may find it useful to reference the appropriate table: z table or t table) a. State the null and the alternative hypotheses for the test. O Ho: u = 120; HA: M # 120 Ho: u ? 120; HA: u < 120 O Họ: A < 120; HA: A > 120 b. Calculate the value of the test statistic and the pvalue. (Negative value should be indicated by a minus sign. Round intermediate calculations to at least 4 decimal places and final answer to 2 decimal places.) Test statistic Find the pvalue. O p-value < 0.01 O 0.01 s p-value < 0.025 O 0.025 s p-value < 0.05 O 0.05 s p-value < 0.10 O p-value 2 0.10
